Proud progressive.
We need Medicare for all!!
ACA marketplace subsidies, which allowed millions of people to afford private health insurance, are set to expire by the end of this year.

For contractors and freelancers in particular, the expiration of these enhanced subsidies could decide whether or not they can afford health insurance.
For many contractors, losing ACA subsidies means losing health care
The GOP's unprecedented premium hikes put chronically ill workers—especially freelancers—in peril.

The dripping contempt the right wing SCOTUS majority holds for district judges is truly a sight to behold every time. When they deign to give actual reasons for their shadow docket holdings, it’s “look at the absolute idiots who keep getting everything wrong!”

Pete Hegseth leaked classified military intelligence about a U.S. operation before it happened to a reporter — directly putting our personnel at risk.

NatSec is a serious matter and should not be left in such incompetent and irresponsible hands.

He must resign immediately.

The really stupid thing the DOJ was about to do was try to re-indict Letitia James. Today, the federal grand jury refused to re-indict. I love when a plan comes together.

BREAKING: MSNOW reports Grand Jury refuses to charge Letita James.
DOJ can, by law, keep trying before a different grand jury, but this will be further proof of vindictive prosecution.

Under Trump’s leadership, electricity costs are going up nationwide.

17% in North Carolina.
15% in Georgia.
13% in Pennsylvania.
12% in Michigan.

And Republicans are doing nothing about it.

But they pardoned jan 6 rioters???!!!
1. I’m HIGHLY skeptical of this whole thing.

2. No details or motive given.

3. Comes days after scathing reports showing Patel’s incompetence, corruption, and malfeasance.

4. He uses his statement to promote himself and claim a huge win to save his job.
